Chapter 152 Blacklist

"An ambush?" Larry felt very puzzled. He just walked out normally, no way to become the one ambushing.

"Don't talk nonsense, who ambushed who? Why would I ambush you?" Larry said with a stern expression, showing his displeasure.

Elodie walked over and swung a slap towards Larry's face.

Larry raised his hand and blocked the slap. "You dare to hit me?"

Elodie immediately scolded, "Do you know what you've done? Do you know who you ambushed? This is Xavier, a big star. What are you trying to do? Spend the rest of your life in jail?"

Outside the Epoch Group, there were already many reporters. Some of them were arranged by Elodie to wait at the door. Now, with just one phone call, many reporters arrived within minutes.

The incident at the elevator exit also caught the attention of many people, who were watching from a distance, pointing and whispering.

"What happened?"

"It seems that the plainly dressed guy ambushed Xavier."

"He ambushed a public figure? Is he crazy?"

"He's done for, he's finished."

Many people felt sorry for Larry. 'Why did he ambush a star? He's going to spend the rest of his life in jail.'

Reporters surrounded them. "Xavier, what happened?"

In front of the reporters, Xavier pointed at Larry, who was surrounded by security, and said, "I just got out of the elevator when he jumped out and beat up my bodyguard. I almost got hit too."

"Xavier, were you hit?"

"Xavier, are you okay?"

Xavier shook his head and said, "I'm fine."

Then, he looked at Elodie and said, "Elodie, let it go. I'm fine anyway, just let him go."

In front of the media, Xavier appeared very magnanimous, but the reporters were not satisfied.

"How can that be?"

"If you let him go this time, next time he might commit a crime. Such a person must be severely punished."

"Let's call the police."

"This matter must be pursued to the end."

Larry watched this scene with a stern expression. Although he wasn't in the entertainment industry and didn't understand its workings, he knew about hype.

He realized that Xavier had planned to use Epoch Group to generate clout.

The media strongly demanded for the police to be called and for Larry to be arrested. Xavier appeared very magnanimous, repeatedly saying he wouldn't pursue the matter.

Elodie immediately scolded, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and thank Xavier. If it were someone else today, you'd be spending the rest of your life in jail."

Larry walked over and said, "Thank you, Xavier, for not holding a grudge."

Only then did Elodie stop and said to the reporters, "Alright, it's just a small matter, don't report it recklessly."

She then added, "And all of you, disperse. Thank you for your concern for Xavier."

Elodie was very warm to the reporters, and they all escorted her out while leaving Larry behind.

Larry touched his nose and smiled faintly. He took the elevator again and returned to the top floor.

Sue was surprised and asked, "Larry, why are you back again?"

Larry asked, "Who's in charge of the entertainment department at the Epoch Group?"

Sue explained, "It's someone hired from another entertainment company. He knows a lot of people in the industry and brought over twenty popular stars with him to the Epoch Group."

"What's his name?"

"Jaxon Abercrombie."

"Call him to see me immediately."

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." Sue immediately left and made a phone call, "Tell the entertainment department manager Jaxon to come to the chairman's office."

Jaxon had a certain status in the entertainment industry. He was previously the head of an entertainment company. When Epoch Group offered him a position and a high salary, he quit his previous job and joined Epoch Group.

His arrival brought many stars to the Epoch Group, giving Epoch Group Entertainment a strong foothold in the industry. He had just signed a contract with Xavier. Then he received a call to go to the chairman's office.

'Could it be that the chairman knows I've recently brought so many stars to the company and wants to reward me?' Thinking of this possibility, Jaxon was extremely excited and went straight to the top floor. He had been at the Epoch Group for a while, but he had never been to the top floor.

The top floor was off-limits; without permission, no one could go up. Even though he was the general manager of the Epoch Group's entertainment company, he couldn't come here without permission.

He entered the office. Seeing the over 10,000 square feet office, he was deeply shocked.

"Ms. Cox." He saw Sue and respectfully greeted her.

Sue said, "The boss wants to see you."

Jaxon was slightly stunned. 'The boss? Isn't Ms. Cox the chairwoman of the Epoch Group? Could there be another boss behind the scenes?'

He looked up and saw Larry sitting in the office chair. 'This plainly dressed man is the real boss behind the Epoch Group?' He found it hard to believe. But there were only two people in the office.

Jaxon walked over, full of respect, "Boss, you wanted to see me?"

Larry, with his legs crossed, said calmly, "Did you sign Xavier?"

"Yes." Jaxon nodded. He knew it; the higher-ups would definitely reward him. It was just as he thought.

Xavier was currently one of the hottest stars, with a following in the millions. Signing Xavier made him feel proud.

"Call him back."

"Okay." Jaxon didn't know Larry's intention but immediately called Elodie.

"Elodie, are you far? Come to the Epoch Group immediately. Our chairman wants to see Xavier. Yes, the chairman who bought the entire NextGen City. Hurry up and come." After making the call, Jaxon stood aside.

Sue didn't leave either and stood by.

Larry lit a cigarette.

About half an hour later, Xavier and Elodie walked into the office.

Seeing the luxurious office, Elodie and Xavier were also stunned.

"Mr. Abercrombie, Ms. Cox." Xavier saw Sue and exclaimed, "Ms. Cox, I've heard your name for a long time. I didn't expect to have the honor to meet you today."

"I'm the one who wants to see you."

Hearing the voice, Xavier turned around.

Larry was in the office chair by the glass window. Seeing him, Xavier was immediately shocked.

Sue said, "Let's go over there."

Elodie and Xavier were completely confused. The two walked up to Larry.

Sue introduced, "This is the real boss of the Epoch Group, Mr. Bennett."

Xavier exclaimed in surprise.

Larry looked at him. "Xavier, right? We meet again."

Elodie was very shocked. A few seconds later, she suddenly bowed. This bowing shocked Jaxon. Only Sue knew that Xavier must have offended Larry.

"Xavier, what a good trick, using the Epoch Group for hype and acting magnanimous in front of the media," Larry chuckled.

Xavier opened his mouth but said nothing.

Larry said calmly, "Jaxon, terminate the contract with Xavier. Spread the word, completely blacklist Xavier. Any company that dares to sign him is going against the Epoch Group. What's more, be more discerning when signing people in the future. Don't just sign popular stars; cultivate new talent and give newcomers more opportunities."

"Okay." Jaxon immediately nodded.

Xavier finally reacted, taking a few steps back. If Elodie hadn't stood up in time to support him, he would have collapsed to the ground.
